DA's on the other hand, in particular the hugely popular PC7427 (or 7336, same model), are pretty fool proof and do a heck of a job. I still use one for about 50% of my client details. It's $109 from Lowes (add $50 for a backing plate and pads), but it'll last you 15 years and I promise it'll pay for itself in the first use. Here is a good "how to"

I personally would not recommend the cheaper sub-$100 buffers you find at local auto shops; they're not really good for anything but waxing and in most cases tend to cause more harm than good.
Just imo, of course.

Thanks! Considering I bring in a pro to do the major detailing stuff every 5 to 6 months, do you think I'd be fine with a drill attachment kit for using 4" Buffer Pads with my drill? I'd plan on using a buffer mainly to help with scratches and/or polishing certain areas. I really wouldn't be using it to polish the entire car.
